Verdict: An excruciatingly honest and educational eye-opener. Kollywood is making its fair share of social drama themed movies and we are so glad for that.

Behindwoods

Velaikkaran doesnt follow the tried and tested commercial Tamil film template with comedy taking the front seat. Mohan Raja wastes no time to establish what type of film the audience has paid for, driving the proceedings forward with one powerful message after another, in a pretty engaging manner for the majority of the first half....Read full review

Film Companion

The opening credits of Velaikkaran (The Worker) play over images of workers: a tailor, a mechanic, a bus driver. But even earlier, weve had a hint about the films concerns, when a bunch of boys from a slum run past an expensive car and one of them puts a scratch on its side with a sharp instrument. Why?

A lot is at stake for Sivakarthikeyan in Velaikkaran, which marks his maiden attempt at breaking away from the comedian tag and emerging as a serious performer; as someone who could make audiences sit up and take notice of the actor hidden within. He succeeds in this endeavour and he couldnt have chosen a better project....Read full review

Firstpost

For Sivakarthikeyan, the Mohan Raja-directed Velaikkaran is the crossover film he has been waiting for. It is not a template comedy-laced-with-romance-Sivakarthikeyan-entertainer that caters to B and C single-screen markets. The film is a message-oriented social drama made stylishly like the directors earlier Thani Oruvan about a single man`s struggle and dedication to change the corrupt system....Read full review

Cinema Express

Director Mohan Raja really seems to care, and his noble intentions backed with the exhaustive research he seems to have undertaken on the subject really differentiates Velaikkaran from run-of-the-mill big-budget films that piggyback on social issues....Read full review
